[08:50:08] nope [08:50:12] in 1.11 I got different pages for "TestString" and "Teststring" [08:50:13] only the first letter [08:50:32] if they are the same, you have something else broken too [08:50:54] theyre not, i'm just wondering how the index name_title could be unique then [08:51:12] because the index uses a case sensitive collation [08:51:35] UNIQUE INDEX name_title (page_namespace,page_title), [08:51:38] was in 1.11 as well [08:51:58] actually they do not use collation at all [08:52:03] so I'd say yea, you got something weird going on. [08:52:58] Huh, when I try to manually create the index (with phpmyadmin and the unique attribute) it says "Duplicate entry for 0-RoR" [08:53:16] since there is another page call Ror in NS0 [08:53:52] DotAWiki|Gara: are you using MySQL? [08:54:14] Yesm the DB is MyISAM [08:55:16] was it originally installed as 1.11, or was it earlier/ [08:56:14] I'm seeing a name_title index on the page title right back to 1.5 [08:57:52] 03(mod) Change favicon for Wiktionaries - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16315 (10conrad.irwin) [09:01:24] 1.11 was the first install [09:02:01] do your tables have any indexes at all? [09:04:22] yes they do [09:04:32] page has PRIMARY, page_random and page_len [09:05:02] did you create the wiki in 1.11 using the web installer, or was it imported from some other wiki?

[09:10:14] 2.6k [09:10:24] 600 contentpages [09:13:49] if I were you, I'd rename the duplicate pages and create the index manually [09:14:32] is there a list of needed indexes out there, where I could check which ones I'm missing? [09:14:41] e.g. you have two copies of (0,RoR), you should rename one of them [09:15:05] there's quite a lot, maybe a couple of hundred [09:15:19] but there's a good chance this is the only one you're missing [09:16:26] hm, don't the titles have to represent articlenames? [09:16:39] In my case RoR and Ror are both redirects to another articlepage [09:16:56] if i rename Ror to foo, will Ror still be redirected? [09:17:22] right... [09:18:00] are you saying there is only one RoR, but there is also a Ror? [09:18:47] I was thinking there were two RoRs [09:19:22] *DotAWiki|Gara is slightly confused [09:19:50] The real articlepage is "Ring of Regeneration", which both "RoR" and "Ror" redirect to [09:20:04] if the default collation is case-insensitive then that would seriously screw things up [09:20:32] is it your own server?

[09:27:51] there was no option in the installer for that [09:27:52] Used a conversionscript [09:28:18] no, that's true, I converted the DB manually using a third party script [09:30:33] so when you said... "created from scratch using the web installer", you actually meant created using a third party script? [09:31:37] no, i created the DB under 1.11 using the installer [09:31:46] and then... [09:32:01] when i updated to 1.14 and changed the server, i converted the DBs to UTF-8 [09:32:10] using? [09:32:38] said script [09:32:47] do you have a link to said script?

[10:34:42] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Redirects [10:38:22] TimStarling, Is the RoR / Ror duplicate issue a Problem of the manual conversion of UTF-8, i.e. would it be possible to migrate the DB to a new wiki without manually deleting the duplicates beforehand? [10:40:19] or is it generally a problem of UTF-8, that it interprets RoR / Ror case-insensitively and reports them as duplicates, therefore violating the UNIQUE attribute of name_title [10:40:50] the problem is the collation of the text fields like page_title [10:41:05] here's what it should be: [10:41:06] page_title varchar(255) binary NOT NULL, [10:41:15] the binary keyword tells it to use a binary collation [10:41:48] your table is using a case-insensitive collation so the unique index flags duplicates which are the same except for case [10:42:18] the simplest solution would be to fix the script so that it creates the right sort of schema, and then reimport [10:44:50] ok, thanks a lot, I'll try that [10:45:27] bbl [11:29:22] hello, is it possible to convert a kwiki-database to a mediawiki-database?

Well we switched server hosts and moved the wiki with us. We uploaded the wiki files and uploaded the backed up SQL. But all the content is missing.

[19:28:40] ok, thank you, I try this [19:28:53] , heh [19:29:49] The SQL was imported fully and correctly as we can tell. Only difference that we noticed is that the type of SQL is different. It switched from innodb to MyISAM if I remember right [19:30:55] Can you check that the text table has rows and content?
